Has a really dry robotic translation, but it's a neat look at Nintendo back in the 1990s.

I played my Switch in the train from MKE to Chicago yesterday and it was perfect. I mostly played golf story, the perfect game for occasionally looking out he window at the scenery and then going back to the game.

The switch is perfect, friends

I like the long save time in Stardew because when I'm still playing at 2 a.m. sometimes I'll doze off and then the rooster wakes me up to play another day instead of going to bed.

It's very immersive.

I got seated next to a guy from work on a flight up to Chicago and we played Mario Kart and Golf Story the whole way there and then someone else asked me "what was that device" on the jetbridge off and it was like a Switch commercial come to life and it was good.

Pfft you guys aren't true hardcore gamers. A true hardcore gamer would hunch over their Switch and refuse to make eye contact or ackowledge anyone trying to talk to them then later post about how girls are ruining video games on Reddit and also complain why no one seems to want to be your friend

Thanks, and yes, it is. And Stardew Valley's chill atmosphere is perfect for a new (first time) parent. No swearing or throwing controllers. I literally haven't played Splatoon 2 since the night before my wife went into labor. I think the other team taking the lead in overtime in tower control or rainmaker would be too much for my fragile, sleep-deprived nerves to handle.

Total aside but congrats on fatherhood. I was you 4.5 years ago. (And now I have a 2 year old, too!)

For relevance: I thought it would kill gaming for me but it just made me get creative about when and how.

I was on my commute playing Picross on my Switch and someone said "that's the new Nintendo Switch" but they weren't really talking to me, the ads suggested that the entire train would immediately come for a round of MK8, what gives

Those people have never left their hometowns so just boarding a flight kinda ruined their gaming cred.

Regarding Stardew load times, I read the recent AMA with the developer and he said he coded it very inefficiently from the very beginning for PC so the loading and saving system is much much slower on anything but a PC and he also said it's unlikely to change.

I don't really mind it though since the wait time usually convinces me to finally put it down after 5 hours.

Having a baby has made my gaming sessions short and interruptible, and mostly in bed. I haven't played a game on PC since she was born, though I play switch or Vita just about every day.

Can confirm that having a switch in the early days of having a baby saved my soul.

Also gently caress yes Super Mario Galaxy is gonna be so good.

I am legit interested in Skyrim for the switch but it's coming out on the same day as Mario so nope. I'll probably wait until a 3 for 2 sale at some point and pick it up then.

They seem to vary but I've never experienced one that long. Maybe the first save was 40 seconds, and between 10 and 30 since.

Making a blind guess, but I'd wager they've dragged in everyone to work on getting Super Mario Odyssey out the door first considering how little has been mentioned about the second Zelda DLC pack.

I checked the release date for the Champion amiibo and it's November 10th so maybe sometime in mid-November? Who knows, but I am looking forward to it so I can finally go beat Ganon and maybe, maybe get some more korok seeds before considering myself done with the game.

I love playing my Switch handheld, in fact I've never even taken the dock out of the box and I've had the thing since release day... but it hurts my (largeish) hands after a while. Are there any good grips or whatever on the market to alleviate this issue?

So far, I still haven't seen any for sale that look chunky enough to make a difference for big-handed folk. I tried one of the gel grips on Amazon and it really did nothing for me. There's a bad-looking kickstarter for some rough 3d-printed "gripz" that look the right size, but unless the guy throws the plans up at a service where folks can order their own, probably not going anywhere https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/419520903/switch-gripz-for-the-nintendo-switch-and-3ds-xl-sy

e: I might try these nyko swivel whatevers for $10, they look like they add some good bulk http://smile.amazon.com/Nyko-Swivel-Grips-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B073ZM5Z12/

Uh I think you'll find if it was something like Super Bario Odyssey then Edge would've only given it a score on par with Knack 2? It only gets a high score because it's a Nintendo game
